Do you have any in-game moments where you scream on the inside?

I'm not talking about baron plays, or teammates feeding, I'm talking about lore moments. For example whenever someone on my team picks Talon and I get the chance to pick Quinn I literally get all weird on the inside and am filled with so much excitement and joy going into the game. Reason being I am on the cart that says Quinn and Talon are siblings but don't actually know it and for some reason that little bit of story/theory makes me so excited to play.

What are some in-game "lore" things that get you really excited?

Honestly, I always get excited playing Shen into Zed (I go Shen support).

Then, when Jhin was released, I always found it somewhat entertaining to see a Shen and ZEd on a team against Jhin.

Also, when I first got Vi, I camped bot lane when there's an enemy Jinx.

Shen and Zed is like a classic lol, it kinda sucks that gameplay wise they don't really clash up, unless of course you go AP Shen ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I love when the newer and re-voiced characters sass other champions. Like, off the top of my head, when Graves throws his shroud on Nocturne. "I got'cher "darkness" right here."

I've been playing a lot of Ivern lately and I like the quote against Zyra "No need to be so thorny" lel lame jokes, he truly is the Green "Father"

I scream on the inside every time my lane opponent picks Illaoi, but that's probably not what you're asking.

I do enjoy when I beat a Jax in lane more than I should. "Grandmaster at Arms" my ass, take another spear to the face.

If only he had a real weapon

Let him, then he'd have no excuses left to fall back on after the 16th spear to the face.

DUDE, I'm also a huge fan of the theory that the two are actually brothers :D I don't usually get matched up against Talon as Quinn but when I do, I feel so pumped; beating him in lane feels especially important to me. I think it's cool that his rework is making him more roam-oriented, since that's exactly the direction they took Quinn in for her rework. The two characters have a lot of similarities both in-game and out (even if superficial).

Doesn't Quinn belong to J4?

That would be Shyvana Although it's just a popular ship, not too lore-based

'brothers' :P

But yeah, I've talked about this a few times before and their kits are very similar which would make sense because as children they went on a bunch of 'adventures' together. Both have a similar in-game identity involving roaming. Both have a passive that focuses on enemies weakness, both have an AoE ultimate, W and E are a bit different now though but still. Lol I'm not as excited going up against Talon as I am fighting alongside one though xD However the thought of the two duking it out whilst not knowing that they're siblings is a huge amount of story joy for me.

Also they both have the same eye colour, pretty sure they have the same hair colour, they both have the same 'fighting' stance being hunched over a bit and they both have smexy voices.

Pretty sure the only reason for that dumb theory is because her dead brother was called Valor, and her companion is named after her, AKA a bird with talons. I can easily see how this escalated into that theory.

KoKobotoOct 27, 20162 votes

Quinn's brother's name was Caleb lol and I don't think anyone who believes in the theory things of birds at all, unless it's like a really out there point like "oh also Talon... birds... Valor is a bird... OMG THE CONNECTION" A joke after the theory lol

Here is one theory that draws out the possible siblinghood pretty well.

But anyways this thread is mostly about in-game moments that make YOU feel any kind of excitement or emotion so if you have any feel free to tell lol

It wouldn't work anyway because Talon is much older than her (Game, not lore) and just like the way they reworked the lore and butchered it, I'm not expecting too much from Talon turning out to be someone else in a newer champ's lore, that just comes from experience in my perspective though
